I was born in a bar in '45 It's sure a wonder this boy's alive I feel no pain but I'm getting so dry Take me to a brewery and leave me there to die I went to Chicago they put me in a bed I turned bright yellow they thought that I was dead For the next six months they said avoid temptation I said fine I'll drink in moderation One bottle a day - of scotland's finest
If I learned to love and I learned to sing I would know a little bit of everything I put a message in a bottle I was stranded on a rock Send another gallon 'cos I'm running out of stock I can see you in my little bottle You are laughing and I am too When you're empty and I'm gone Then they will laugh And throw us both away
